well observed.

Here's your lovely EM 2016 Kicktipp ranking:



:siren: Kicktipp has been updated for 2016/17. :siren: As is tradition, we're skipping the first leg of the cup and I'll add the German UEFA games once the qualifiers are over.

quote:

Liebe Fans,
bevor die Saison und die Länderspiele bald wieder starten, wollte ich euch etwas mitteilen: Ich habe dem Bundestrainer gesagt, dass ich ab sofort nicht mehr für die Nationalmannschaft spielen werde. Ich trete kürzer und widme mich mehr anderen Dingen. Am meisten natürlich meiner Familie. Ich bin sicher, dass sie sich nicht beschweren werden, wenn ich künftig mehr Zeit für sie habe. Und darauf freue ich mich sehr.
Die Entscheidung ist mir sehr schwer gefallen. Die Nationalmannschaft war für mich immer Herzenssache, und das wird sie auch immer bleiben. Ich habe aber nach der Euro/Urlaub gespürt, dass sich mein Fokus verschoben hat. Alles hat seine Zeit – und meine Zeit beim DFB ist vorbei.
Für mich ist dieser Abschied sehr emotional. Ich bin stolz darauf, was ich mit dem DFB erleben durfte. Nichts kann mir ersetzen, was mir die Zeit mit dem DFB-Team an Freude, Leidenschaft und Zusammenhalt gegeben hat. Vom zweijährigen polnischen Jungen, der quasi nur mit einem Ball unter dem Arm nach Deutschland kam, zum Weltmeister - das ist mehr, als ich mir erträumen konnte.
Mit dem DFB habe ich auf dem Platz große Erfolge gefeiert. Aber nicht nur das. Ich habe auf der ganzen Welt Länder und Städte gesehen, habe auch neben dem Platz viel erlebt. Ich habe tolle Menschen kennen gelernt und viele Freunde gefunden. Es war einfach gigantisch.
Danke an den DFB. Danke an das Team hinter dem Team! Danke an meine Mitspieler. Und Danke Trainer. Danke Rudi Völler. Danke Jürgen Klinsmann. Und ganz besonders: Danke Joachim Löw!
Der größte Dank gilt aber Euch: Ihr Fans habt immer zu mir gehalten, auch in schlechten Zeiten. Auf Euch konnte ich mich immer verlassen, die Verbindung zwischen mir und Euch war mir extrem wichtig. Wenn ich jetzt gehe, wird mir genau das am meisten fehlen: die Nähe zu Euch🙏🏻❤️ Ich hoffe, dass ich Euch ein Teil von dem zurückgeben konnte, was ich von Euch erhalten habe! Für alles: vielen Dank!
Ich wünsche der Nationalmannschaft eine erfolgreiche Zukunft - der Pott soll auch 2018 nach Deutschland gehen. Ich werde ab jetzt die Daumen drücken – als großer Fan dieses tollen Teams.
Machts gut! Es war mir eine Ehre!
Eure Nummer 10 Poldi 🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #danke

I'm gonna be in Munich in March on a weekend that Bayern is playing at home. I would love to go, but Bayern's English website doesnt have any ticketing info and I cant figure out the funny German text with the strange mutant capital B's. Are single game tickets readily availible or should I not even bother?

Yeah, and switzerland doing well certainly has nothing to do with all the gold they mysteriously acquired in the 40s. That all came from legitimate sources, you know.

Well, if the money comes from illegitimate sources, the FIFA governing body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.

When he was still working at the Titanic, Martin Sonneborn once called several Swiss banks, claiming to be a representative of the legal successor of the NSDAP and demanding the immediate return of the Nazi gold. The reactions were pretty funny, especially that one time when he quoted Hitler and said that he could conquer Switzerland with Constance's fire brigade.

Seriously, Olympic football is a joke and the Brazilians were better. The German penos were garbage except for Brandt's (:cool:) while the Brazilians nailed all of them
